iPhone Three20: Passing parameters for customized URL in TTStyledTextLabel

Question

Hi guys,

I'm working on handling the click of a customized URL in TTStyledTextLabel.

When I set the text to <a href="appname://user/name">name</a>, TTStyledTextLabel can parse it correctly as a URL But when I try to map this URL to a Viewcontroller, I just can't get the parameter (the 'name')

This is what the code looks like: [map from:@"appname://user/ (initWithName:)" toViewController:[UserInfo class]];

If I change the URL to <a href="appname://user">name</a>, and map it without parameter like: [map from:@"appname://user" toViewController: [UserInfo class]]; I can navigate to the UserInfo class...

Does anyone have this experience before? thanks for the help guys :)

**Edit I actually found it's due to there are unicode in the URL.... seems I need to find a workaround...

Answer 1

Ensure that the name parameter do not contain one or more slashes: / The parameter can not be parsed correctly to put into the init function.

Answer 2

If you need to pass data through URLs, you can also set the userInfo property to be a dictionary of your choosing.

If you're using TTTableItems with URLs, here's a category that will automatically add the table item's userInfo object to the URL's userInfo dictionary with the key __userInfo__.

See my comment at the bottom on how to retrieve the object in the mapped controller.
